things you said you would NEVER do ... but now do with a guilty conscious

Dash is a tummy sleeper. And I put a blanket on him at night.

And Grayson watches a LOT of TV. Granted, it's almost all educational programming and age appropriate (Word World, Sesame Street, Backyardigans), but before I had kids I was ADAMANT that they would only get 30 minutes of "screen time" each day.

pacifier and cosleeping (though we stopped that a few days ago)

I feed my dog table food. Guilty.

I said I would never put my daughter in pink and put stupid flowers on her head.

Brooke watches more TV than I ever thought she would.

She also sleeps with a blanket, lovies, and on her tummy but I have never had guilt for that. She has had a real blanket since she was a month or two old and it did not bother me.

Colbi watches a lot of tv (more than an hour a day). We're watching playhouse disney while I'm trying to filter through spam and work e-mails. It's the only thing that will make her sit still for more than 2.6 seconds.

Ditto for me.

Pacifier after 6 months (only for sleeping though).

She sleeps with a blanket and a lovey at night.

I said I'd have DD outside all the time, and I don't.... Summer was too hot and buggy, so I need to capitalize on this fall weather.

Oh, I also said I'd NEVER, EVER sniff my kid's tush to see if they'd pooped. Now? Yeah, I sniff. Embarrassed

I was so not going to be one of those cheesey moms who used giant flower headbands and tutus. Oops.....but I least we balance it out with converse sneaks and skulls and crossbones!

DD does not take a bottle & I was unable to "make her."

Sometimes we cosleep.

She screams when I leave her, which causes me to not leave her often.

I'm a freak about germs.

I could go on & on...

Ha - I do things I said I never would WITHOUT a guilty concious

This is hysterical. Your DD looks ADORABLE in this picture - I would do it too if I were you!

I have fed my toddler McNuggets 3 times. I swore I would not give him fast food at this age (2+).

I have never felt guilty about tummy sleeping. Both my kids did it. Worry (when they were tiny) yes. Guilty: no.

paci...I thought we wouldn't use it as much as we do! It's a lifesaver!

W is a tummy sleeper
W has a blanket on him at night
W sleeps with a lovie
W has slept in our bed on numerous occasions
W has had a crusty nose out in public (those suckers are impossible to clean without a fight!!)

What else!?!? I know there's more.

Literally the same for both my kids as you. DS watches TV a lot..thank goodness for Playhouse Disney!

I said I would never co sleep since I was so terrified about SIDS. Well one night I was so sleep deprived so I nursed her while laying down and told myself I would not fall asleep and I did. I woke up and she was just fine sleeping next to me. We co slept for a long time after that and it honestly helped with the sleep deprivation.

Sometimes he cries anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes when I put him down for a nap. I thought I would never let him cry, but I can't rock him to sleep every time and I know he is tired and not in pain so we do it.
